I am a real estate salesman in Tulsa at the present time. I had a Ford car stolen in front of 510 1/2 South Main stree, January 8th, this year. I reported it to the Desk Sergeant at police station immediately; he took the report and told me to report it also to Mr. Ward. I placed a $50.00 reward at the time, and the next day raised it to $100; I called on Mr. Ward every day, and in about three weeks he told me the car had been found, that it was at the Mason Garage on Boulder; we went down together and examined the machine, and verified the numbers and description; I was told there was three days storage on it; I paid it and took the car and went with Mr. Ward to my office and wrote him a check for the $100 reward. When I got the machine home I saw that it had been stripped; the shock absorbers were gone; the rear cushion was gone; the front cushion had been changed for an old one; the speedometer was gone; the cut out and the original exhaust pipe had been taken out and another exhaust pipe put in without any cutout; the tool box and all its tools were gone; the hood was gone; the lights had been changed and also the tires; the rear tail light had been taken off; I also had several extra tools in the car, not Ford tools, they were all gone. That afternoon I went to Mr. Ward's office and told him the condition of the car, and told him when I offered that reward I expected the car to be returned in good condition; it was worth practically nothing the way it was returned. He indicated there would be nothing doing in the return of any part of the reward, and said the reward didn't go to him, but to the police department relief fund; I talked to him several times afterward about it, but he said there would be none of it returned.
